Yes, Avatar continues to win at the box office. And yes, it was the Best Picture Drama for the Golden Globes last night. But that doesn't mean everyone likes it. Oh wait, yeah, it's kind of starting to look they way. We might want to look into the possibility of James Cameron flying the entire (about 100) Hollywood Foreign Press to the actual planet of Pandora. If I was promised that, I'd vote for Avatar as well.
